Nabbed a last minute ticket. Could anyone advise best way to travel by train from Euston? Cheers

[TaxDodger]

Personally I'm going to walk from Euston to St Pancras and get a train to Stratford International (5 mins journey) which is apparently a 15 minute walk from the ground.

Northern line to bank, then central line to Stratford.

Every time I ve seen West ham tis season they seems really difficult to play against, good defensively and some good defenders (Ogbonna) and scoring on the break (Bowen and Antonio running the ball into goal - Lukaku style). Ogbonna? and Bowen out a miss for them. We are in good form and if we come out like we did at Ellen road (how good that win was) we do them 2-1 i predict. And CT Villain I very much want to be PM ed before kick off too.

Surely much, much quicker to do one stop to St Pancras (Victoria or Northern) then overland train to Stratford International.

Northern Line via Bank is closed until May.

Either:
Go Northern Line southbound to Waterloo, change for the Jubilee Line eastbound to Stratford.
Or:
Go Victoria Line southbound to Green Park, change for Jubilee Line eastbound to Stratford.

Or this way, but quicker to walk to St Pancras. Come out of Euston and turn left along the Euston Road. It's a ten minute walk.

Massive game today.

At the moment we have an outside chance of European football next season. Lose today, no chance, draw today, little chance, win today, a realistic chance.

We are building a squad that needs more matches in a season to give all players game time and maintain morale. Stevie G is used to playing 50 plus matches a season and is building a squad to service that.

Only 38 league matches next season and our usual shyte cup draws could set us back!! For this reason, I can see us throwing the kitchen sink at the Hammers today and bursting their bubbles.

1-2 to the Villa

Euston to Stratford getting the high speed line from St Pancras is probably best, otherwise get Metropolitan line to Liv St then you can do either central line or any number of main line rail or TFL rail to Stratford. Avoid Jubilee line which takes the long route south of the river.

Also I have several alternatives to the issues mentioned above by andyh which im happy to share if needed.

I think Sanson should come in for Ramsey. Give him a rest and give Sanson some game time.

Isn’t there a tickets and travel thread?

Their pitch is the standard size, identical to ours.

there is some sort of optical illusion going on then, if you look at the distance penalty are to by line it looks too narrow.

I suspect it's because of the camera angle as it's so far away from the pitch.

And it’s a one tiered stand so the angle of the pitch will seem narrow. I quite like it tbf

There is, but as its match day, I thought I would get a faster response..

Thanks to all for the travel advice.
